"Yuan Kai, didn't you say you were going back to the army soon? Why do you still have time to go out with me today?"
The Second Young Master Feng took over Du Yu's army.
"It's precisely because I'm going back to the army that I want to go out and play more while I still have the chance."
Du Yuhun replied nonchalantly, and then asked:
"Speaking of this, Erlang, are you really not planning to join the military?"
Even if Second Master Feng's current results alone, I believe it would be easy to apply for transfer to the martial arts academy.
If you add in the fact that he is the eldest son of his husband and his master's wife, the world's top military skills, which others would beg for but never get, are within easy reach for Feng Erlang.
Not to mention that Feng Dashima and General Zhendong, the two recognized military commanders of the Han Dynasty, must be the two at the top.
From the perspective of insiders like Du Yu, it would be a waste of Feng Erlang's status if he did not pursue a career in the military.
"I'll forget it!" Second Young Master Feng shook his head, "With my little martial arts skills, I can't even beat my own sister. Isn't it a joke to lead the army?"
As the eldest son of the Feng family, Second Young Master Feng is very clear about his position.
His main task in this life is to find ways to preserve the Feng family's business.
The Feng family's family business is already big enough.
There is no need to develop any new business for the Feng family.
In fact, being able to protect the current family business of the Feng family is enough to make the ancestors of the Feng family happy.
Besides, you and your mother are in the prime of their lives, so it is impossible for you to be in front of the battle in person.
Even if we take a step back, if the day comes that the eldest son of the Feng family is allowed to personally lead the army to kill the enemy, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty has already reached the last moment.
For example, let's say the thieves came to Chang'an City.
When that time comes, there will naturally be no need to keep the Feng Mansion's family business any longer.
Others think that the eldest son of the Feng family is a good person, but in fact, the second son Feng is sometimes a little envious of his brothers.
At least they are much freer than me, unlike me, who have so many constraints.
For example, if Aunt Hua's son Guan Sheng really wanted to make a great contribution, he would go directly to Nanzhong to make early preparations.
In the future, it is not a problem to become a noble prince, or even to become a Xiaoyao prince in the south.
Of course, Second Young Master Feng would not talk about this mentality to outsiders.
On the contrary, he frankly admitted that his martial arts skills were not as good as his sister's, which made Du Yu's lips twitch.
If others don’t know, can it be that Senior Brother Feng is trying to fool even your own Junior Brother?
Looking at the entire Chang'an circle, the martial arts skills of the senior sister are quite terrifying. I really don't know who among her contemporaries can compare with her.
"Senior brother, leading an army does not necessarily require strong martial arts," Du Yu said pointedly, "For example, sir's martial arts may not be better than General Zhendong's. Isn't Sir still superior to General Zhendong?"
"In the military, strategizing is more important than martial arts, do you think so?"
"This is indeed the truth," Second Master Feng glanced at Du Yu meaningfully and said, "How about I go back to the house today and tell your Lordship what Yuan Kai said?"
When Du Yu heard this, he quickly held up his hands and begged: "Brother, please spare my life, please spare me this time! I was just joking."
Senior sister Ying's dirty tricks have made her senior brother feel dark. These two sisters cannot be offended, they really can't be offended.
Yang Hu next to him was a little confused and thoughtful as he listened to the two men's words:
"Yuan Kai will be returning to the army soon. In recent days, I have often heard fellow students mention matters in the army. Could it be that there is any news in the imperial court?"
Having been in Chang'an for a long time, he has a little understanding of some things about the Han Dynasty.
According to some people's opinion, there is only one stone in the world for talent, and Feng Shanchang has only one stone.
Therefore, even if he cannot be like the chief of the mountain, he can "set up the heart of the world", "carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints", and "create peace for all generations".
But the remaining two fights are enough to "make a living for the people."
Therefore, most of the students in the college have the custom of "worrying about the country as much as their family, and taking the world as their own responsibility".
This kind of trend is very different from the trend of escaping metaphysics and chatting that is popular in Kanto. It can even be said to be the opposite.
In addition, over the years, every major event in the imperial court has made it a practice to recruit students from colleges for internships.
In this way, students get credits, the college gets reputation, and the court gets cattle and horses.
Everyone has a bright future.
It is precisely because of this practice that whenever there is any news in the academy, someone will guess whether the imperial court is doing something else.
"Isn't it just a matter of establishing the Tongjunfu?"
Second Young Master Feng and Du Yu looked at each other, and Du Yu said, "Uncle, don't you know yet? The imperial court has decided to establish a unified military government in the local area to replace the current military system."
"The Tongjun Mansion?"
Yang Hu was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, "I have heard some rumors, but I don't know much about this matter."
Although he is studying in the college, he can only be regarded as a "day student", or an auditor.
There is no way to enjoy the preferential policies granted by the imperial court to college students.
So it's normal that he doesn't understand some things.
Du foreseeing this, briefly talked about the affairs of the Tongjun Mansion, and finally explained:
"The establishment of the Tongjunfu is similar to other new policies. It lacks manpower, so many students in the college are a little moved."
"After all, it's not easy to get into the martial arts academy." Second Young Master Feng also said, "But if we take advantage of the establishment of the unified military government and join the army, we might be able to make some detours."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue! Feng Shanchang once said that men should lead Wu hook to make contributions.
With Mr. Feng as a role model, which of the enthusiastic students would not want to imitate the commander of the mountain, who can bring peace to the world with his pen and settle the world with his military power?
But if you want to directly enter the martial arts academy, it is more difficult than Taiyuan Academy.
But if you go to the Tongjunfu for an internship and then use the channels of the Tongjunfu to participate in the martial arts competition, wouldn't it be similar to those who graduated from the martial arts academy?
After hearing the explanations of the two people, Yang Hu was surprised at first. There is such an operation?
Then he was surprised again.
The martial arts of the Han Dynasty are already great enough!
Just by looking at how eagerly the students in the college imitated Ban Dingyuan (i.e. Ban Chao) and joined the army, we can get a glimpse of it.
I thought that the military system currently implemented by the Han State that combined conscription and recruitment was more powerful than the Wei Dynasty's military system.
The conscription system will place a greater burden on the people.
Especially during wars, when people are displaced and the population is greatly reduced, trying to force conscription will only make people lose their hearts and people will continue to flee.
The recruitment system would also place a heavy financial burden on the imperial court.
Moreover, if you want to make a soldier who has been recruited with money and food willing to sacrifice his life in front of the battle, how much money do you have to spend to buy his life?
Therefore, it is not without reason that the army recruitment system was implemented in the later Han Dynasty and the combat effectiveness declined so quickly.
Moreover, once the imperial court's finances are exhausted and local governments are allowed to recruit soldiers on their own, there will be hidden dangers for soldiers to become generals.
Therefore, Emperor Wu saw the harm of the military recruitment system in the Later Han Dynasty and implemented the world military system.
But who would have thought that the Han Dynasty would go one step further than Emperor Wu and achieve this level of military system?
Even now, it seems that Han is still not satisfied.
They actually had to reorganize the Han army, which was already considered a tiger and wolf force.
It can be said that the Tongjun Mansion has even absorbed the advantages of the military system and the military system.
Not to mention that the farming and military system promoted by Emperor Wu has now declined. Even when it was still in its heyday, it might not be easy for him to face the unified military government of the Han Dynasty.
Sensing that Yang Hu's silence was a bit strange, Du Yu lightly bumped Yang Hu with his shoulder and reminded him:
"Uncle, what are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought? Didn't I say you were treating me today? Where are we going?"
After receiving Du Yu's kind reminder, Yang Hu suddenly woke up, looked at Du Yu with gratitude, and then said to the Second Master Feng apologetically:
"I was distracted, brother Boyang, don't blame me."
Second Young Master Feng shook his head, with a smile as gentle as jade: "It doesn't matter."
When Yang Hu saw Second Master Feng's smile, he sighed secretly.
He understood that behind Second Master Feng's smile, there was a hint of alienation.
The reason is also very simple: Shandong Yangshi.
To this day, although the Shandong Yang family has expressed great goodwill to the Han Dynasty, one of their actions was to send themselves to Chang'an.
However, Yang Hu knew that the family far away in Shandong still followed the old practice and wanted to make multiple bets.
But this kind of approach was not feasible for the Han Dynasty.
The longer Yang Hu stays here, the more he understands, and the more clearly he sees:
The old routine of aristocratic families no longer works here.
Because the Han Dynasty has only one attitude towards aristocratic families:
If you follow it, you will prosper; if you go against it, you will perish.
No one is allowed to play with uncertainty and ambiguity at all.
If we say that there is Shu in the front and Hedong and Shangdang in the back, if they all go against it, they will perish.
Liangzhou Haoyou is a typical example of those who follow the rules and prosper - except for those families who wanted to die to serve the Wei Dynasty and were eventually exterminated.
In particular, the Dunhuang Zhang family is truly a prosperous place in Liangzhou.
When Yang Hu first came to Han, he went to Longxi to deliver a message to the Xin family, so he naturally knew the situation in Liangzhou.
It's just that Uncle Yang may be regarded as outstanding, but he is still too young and has insufficient qualifications. In the old family of Shandong Yang, he still has no right to speak at this time.
Kuang is in Chang'an, how difficult is it to persuade people in Shandong?
So in the dilemma, I could only try my best to explain the situation in Han to the family.
While doing his best, he made friends with people from the Han Kingdom in Chang'an.
Even if it's not for the family, you can still make some preparations for yourself in the future.
Obviously, making friends with the second son of the Feng family is a good choice for Yang Hu.
But Yang Hu naturally knew that with his current status, it would be a bit difficult to gain the complete trust of Second Young Master Feng.
It also requires sincerity.
And today, he is here to show his sincerity.
"There is a barbarian from the Western Regions who has opened a new wine shop in the West City. I heard it is pretty good. Didn't Yuan Kai say he is going back to the army? So this time, it is a farewell party for Yuan Kai."
Although he wanted to make friends with the second young master Feng, Yang Hu naturally would not say it directly, but through the name of Du Yu, who is also a young master from aristocratic families.
"Uncle is really interested."
Although I have long been accustomed to leaving the academy from time to time to report in the military.
But it was rare for his uncle to show his heart to him, so Du Yu would certainly not refuse.
"It's just the east and west markets. Although there are many restaurants, apart from the novelty, the wine and food are always hard to describe."
Second Master Feng took the initiative and said, "Could it be that this Hu's restaurant is different?"
"Brother Boyang is indeed right!" Yang Hu gave a high-five and said with a smile, "Whether it's wine or food, how can this Hu Si compare with me, a big man? It's just a novelty."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue! After the Han Dynasty regained Liangzhou, the Zhang family in Dunhuang took the initiative to ask for help and sent his son Zhang Jiu to the Western Regions to appease the countries in the Western Regions.
Zhang took advantage of the prestige that the Han Dynasty had established in the Western Regions for four hundred years, coupled with the reputation of the Zhang family, and went through many hardships to restore contact between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty.
In the early years, Hu Abi's envoys outside the Great Wall invaded other countries. Zhang Jiu and Zhang Hua's uncle and nephew teamed up to fight against them, beheading and capturing thousands of people.
It was this battle that allowed the Han Dynasty to regain a firm foothold in the Western Regions and reset the Western Regions Protectorate.
Zhang Hua, as Ji Han's first governor of the Western Regions, led tens of thousands of people to garrison in Gaochang (Turpan), responsible for maintaining the security and political stability of the countries in the Western Regions and ensuring smooth trade routes between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty.
Especially the latter point is particularly important.
The smooth flow of trade routes has allowed the Han Dynasty to make considerable profits over the years.
The Han Dynasty's finances could sustain the crusade against thieves and at the same time continue to implement the New Deal.
The smooth flow of trade routes in the Western Regions can be said to be indispensable.
Just transporting the Han-specific materials to the Western Regions for sale would make huge profits.
Especially after the emperor returned to the old capital of Chang'an, people from all over the world lived there, including many wealthy families, merchants and merchants, and all the four societies in the world.
There are also extremely wealthy merchants with billions of dollars in wealth. They invite guests every summer, serve them with dozens of maids, decorate them, wear silk ribbons, and make them drink wine.
Chang'an has already regained its prosperity as an international city.
Of course, the main task of the Han Dynasty now is to put down the rebels and bring order to the world.
At the moment, I don’t have the extra energy to deliberately explore the Western Regions.
There are also some small countries in the Western Region who are unwilling to surrender, but it is enough if they do not disturb the trade routes.
Even so, although all the small countries in the Western Regions cannot reach them all, those like Qiuci, Khotan, Kangju, Wusun, Shule, Yuezhi, Shanshan and Cheshi will not pay tribute every year.
Especially King Yanqi sent his son to serve as his servant.
Therefore, as the number of barbarians in Chang'an increased day by day, barbarian establishments naturally opened up.
In the past, the biggest feature of Hu Si was the peach wine.
But a few years ago, someone in Liangzhou not only expanded land to open pastures to raise cattle and sheep, built workshops, etc., but also vigorously developed the planting industry.
Under the personal guidance of Mr. Li Xu, a master of agriculture, it is normal to plant some sweet apples and improve the winter melons.
Even Nanzhong can brew honey wine, and Liangzhou produces some rose peach wine. It makes sense, right?
The brewing technology in the Western Regions is not as good as that of the Han Dynasty. If we transport peach wine all the way to Chang'an to sell it, wouldn't we risk our lives?
Therefore, the peach wine from the Western Regions was squeezed out by the peach wine from Liangzhou, and the Han Dynasty's stir-fry had begun to become popular.
How can the food in barbarian restaurants and bars compare to the delicacies of Han people?
After hearing Second Young Master Feng's evaluation of Hu Si, Du Yu pointed at him and said with a smile:
"Who doesn't know that Feng Mansion's food is unique in the world? Boyang is very picky at his own house, so he naturally looks down on other people's food, but for me, Hu Si's roast mutton is quite delicious. .”
Although the barbarians in Chang'an City are constantly coming and going, if the food of the barbarians is really useless, then there may not be a few barbarians in the entire city of Chang'an that can survive.
Yang Hu watched the two bickering and also said:
"Boyang, the Hu Restaurant we went to today was specially recommended by someone. I heard it is quite different from the actual Hu Restaurant."
"Oh?" When Second Master Feng heard this, he immediately became interested, "What's the difference?"
Speaking of the Western Region, the customs and customs are different from those in the Central Plains, so there are some things worth looking forward to.
For example, Hu Ji.
Back then, someone gave you a group of high-quality orchids who were good at singing and dancing, but you didn't seem to like them and sent them all out of the house.
Whenever he saw Hu Jiwu in Goulan, Mr. Feng couldn't help but feel sorry for the adults:
Even if you don't like it, sir, it's still great to stay at home and entertain guests!
Think about it, based on your prestige among the Hu people, you can guess how rare it is to see the Hu Ji sent to your house.
Therefore, Mr. Feng felt even more regretful.
"Orchid dances to encourage drinking."
As if hearing Second Master Feng's thoughts, Yang Hu smiled mysteriously and said words that made Second Master Feng's heart beat wildly.
Second Young Master Feng's eyes widened suddenly: "Cao!"
Just hearing the name, it sounds... pretty good!
Naturally, everyone has heard of dancing and drinking - this kind of game should basically be played in the homes of wealthy people - but Second Young Master Feng is a country bumpkin in this regard. He has heard of it but never seen it.
After all, the Feng family's family tradition is quite strict.
And as we all know, Feng Da Sima was not a womanizer, and he was not like other rich families who liked to maintain their wealth.
So when I heard that there was such a service provided by Hu Si, I naturally became curious.
Feng Da Sima and General Zhendong are not people who stick to the past.
Even in Feng Dasima's opinion, in his own era, KFC was no longer news for students of this age.
Not to mention this is ancient times.
After all, Second Young Master Feng is already a young man.
Although under the education of General Zhendong, there was no rebellious period.
But if he has nothing to do, he is allowed to go to Goulan to listen to music and relax.
It's also okay to have a little drink, as long as you don't drink too much.
When Yang Hu saw Second Master Feng's appearance, he knew that he had scratched his itch.
"To be honest, Boyang, this was the first time my friend told me about this, and he was just as curious as you."
"It seems that my uncle's friend can be regarded as a wonderful person."
After saying this, all three of them smiled knowingly.
Walking all the way, we arrived at the Western Market and found the legendary Hu Si.
"Jie, it's really different. It's quite lively."
As soon as the three of them entered the wine shop, they immediately felt a wave of heat rushing towards them.
The entire wine shop is filled with the rich aroma of wine and barbecue.
Looking around, there are all kinds of decorations hanging on the walls of the restaurant.
There are exquisite tapestries and exotic copper vessels. These embellishments make the entire wine shop look exotic.
The Orchids wear thin layers of clothes, and the skirts sway with their light steps, which is eye-catching.
They shuttled between the desks, with charming and charming smiles on their faces, pouring wine for the guests from time to time, and laughter and laughter erupted one after another.
There was an open space in the hall, where a barefoot orchid was spinning to the beat of a drum.
The bells tied to Yingying's small waist and snow-white ankles, as she danced, seemed to be freed from their restraints and scattered like shooting stars.
This caused everyone to burst into cheers.
"You guys, the store is full."
When the barbarian waiter saw the three people coming in, he quickly came to apologize in fear and bowed repeatedly: "I'm really sorry!"
"I booked the private room number A upstairs."
Yang Hu raised his chin slightly and said lightly.
"It turns out you are a noble man, but I am blind." The waiter slapped himself quickly, "Your honor, please."
